So, two roster players, one of which is either our highest drafted player ever or our future #1 centre both of which were high 1st round picks and another 1st round pick?
And thats considered 'cheap?'
And again, this is the last time I'm saying this:
Say you trade Bennett in the Stamkos deal, you still have to pay Monahan. Can you keep Monahan, Gaudreau and Stamkos under the cap? Probably not.
Which means someone has to go.
So, while not included in the trade, is a cost of acquisition none the less.
